Just busy! I know I haven't blogged lately, but I've been busy doing the usual, and some unusual, which is what makes life fun. (or not so fun if you count falling down the basement stairs and coming down with an eye infection. bleh.)
A few examples:
1. Ali got new roller blades, so I'm getting my exercise, since she can't go alone.
Just smile and wave at the folks in their cars that gawk and point at the funny girls in skates and long skirts.
2. Bradley has a new enthusiams for basketball and if Ali's busy (probably rollerblading) next best option? You guessed it, me! But I enjoy it, and he's helping me get better and we've been playing almost every day!
3. Teaching Violin! I have 5 students, and I like teaching them all, and they're not the only ones learning. Me too!
4. Orchestra in Bellingham on Monday nights with Ali. We're both enjoying this so much, and we love our director, and the music we're learning is amazing.
5. Studying. But it's not as bad as it sounds. I'm enjoying what I'm studying. Mainly consumer math and theology. Lots of theology, which I especially love.
Please forgive my sporadic blogging, but it's one of those things for spare time. A scarce commodity!
Thanks for reading all, I'm enjoying your blogs.
PS,
Kate, you should really start a blog!

Good Grief Charlie Brown!
Where does the time go? My kid sister (for that she will always be to me, even when she's 50) know affectionately by me, and only me as Charlie Brown, is 15 years old today!
Happy Birthday Charlie! Love you!

Homemade Beeswax Candles
Last Wednesday morning, in absence of violin lessons due to mid-winter break, I had some free time. I've made candles a few times before, and I find them to be one of the most beautiful crafts. I've made tapers and globes before, so this time I decided to try jar candles. They were easy and less time consuming and they make beautiful gifts and hopechest additions. Another plus is that they are unscented. (great for the people in our family with allergies) Oh, and if you buy pure beeswax you don't have to worry about soy, chemicals and other undesirable additives.
It's a fun project for a rainy/snowy/cold/windy day. I suppose we could just call them Washington days. :)
What are some things you gals have made for your hopechest?
